Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1887-07-05

| Tor little Wllle ike Ddll. darcy, Sio-
gan, White, Nicholson, Stentzel and Others
of the team were favored in this way,
Bailey alone gathering in five dollars as his
share of the silver shower.
The hitting of Nichol, Dunn and West
lake in the morning and that OF Nicholson
and Bailey in the afternoon was very heavy
and the splendid field-work of Nichol.
White and Stentzel was also noticeable.
For the visitors, Lauer hit hard and often,
and Rafferty, and Collver did good work in
the field. Mccain played fine left field,
taking several long running catches in
great style. Nichol and Crogan received
handsome bouquets.
One of the pleasant features OF the days
sport was the total absence OF disorderly
conduct of any kind. One or two close
decisions by umpire Bauer, who filled his
difficult position to the satisfaction OF both
clubs, were received with some manifesto
ton of displeasure, but they were short
| lived.
There was nothing in town too good for
the boys last night, a. the people have be-
gun to realize th the Wheeling team, as
at present constituted is second to none in
the League.
Morning Game.
With the score standing 9 TO against
them at the end of the fourth inning, the
Wheeling "MaroOns," a. they will now
he called, put on their batting clothes,
and hammered Lemons all over the field,
tieing the game in the eighth by terrific
hitting, aided by several costly errors on
the part of the visitors. Neither team
scored in the ninth, although Wheeling
had three men on bases with none out, as
Lemons buckled down TO work and stop
ped them off. In the tenth Crogan led
of with cracking drive for two bases and
Sammy NichOl hit for i solid home run,
but owing to the rule allowing only two
bases for hit into the crowd, he only got
to second. This was enough, however, to
bring in Crogan with what proved to be
the winning run, as GAINESVILLE could not
add any to their total.
In the first inning Wheeling was blanked,
going out in one, two three order. Xanes-
vile scored twice on three clean hts and
errors by Smurthwaite and Nicholson.
Both sides were thanked in the second
and Wheeling again in the third by sharp
work Oh the part OF the visitors,
who, in their halt Of the inning,
lined Dunn out to suit themselves,
finally succeeding in knocking him ont Of
the box, making four singles and two
doubles with only one out. 1t was evil
tdent that the game was lost if Dunn con-
tinued to occupy the box, and so Sullivan
took his place. Things at once began to
wear a different aspect as the plucky little
fellow from Yankee-land, after giving a
man base on balls, settled down to work,
and in the remaining six innings and a
half only allowed the Ohio boys six hits off
his delivery.
In the fifth inning, when everybody
thought Wheeling's chances were gone
glmmering, the boys began TO bat. After
Bell had been retired from third TO first,
Westlake lined the ball out for two bases
aud made the first score for the home team
on Crogan's base hit, after Sullivan had
gone out on fly TO left field. NichOl fol-
lowed with cOrker for two bags, bringing
CrOgan in with run number two. Nichol-
son finished up the half inning by flying
out to Welcb.
Wheeling added two more in the next
through costly errors of their opponents
and hits bv Bell and Westlake. Evansville
4ilso got one in this inning, making the
score 10 to l in hes favor.
In the seventh both teams were blanked,
but in the eighth the fun began. Smurth-
waite went out on a fly to left; Dunn hit
hard for two bases; White, Bell, Westlake
and Sullivan followed with singles; Crogan
hit TO Welch, who fumbled il; Sullivan
was caught mapping at third and made
second out, bat Eichol and Nicholson
hammered two basers each, and the score
was tied.
The ninth brought goose eggs all around
and ten innings were necessary to decide
the game. Crogan was first to bat, and he
delighted the crowd with a solid hit over
the fence for two bags. Nichol got in an
other of the same species, his third OF the
game, and brought Crogan in with what
proved to be the winning run, driving the
enormous crowd of spectators fairly crazy.
Sammy Immediately stole third, but was
lett there, as the next three men went out
in one, two, three order, Everybody held
their breath, as with one run to tie
and two to win, Rafferty, opened the
GAINESVILLE half OF the inning with clean
base hit over second. johnson hit short
fly to centre, which Nichol captured after
a hard run. Collver hit to Nicholson and
forced Rafferty, out at second and WEIGH
ended the long agony by flying ont TO
Nichol. Inc howl of delight that went
up as the ball settled in
Sammy's paws, could be heard
in North Wheeling. The people in the
grand stand acted like maniacs, throwing
cushions at each other and going through
other ridiculous antics to express their en-
thusiasm. The boys played the greatest
uphill game of their lives, and deserved
sill the encomiums showered Epop tleIa.
